Chapter 1570


    Keegan remained silent, as he debated with himself on whether to speak or not. He felt that Ste was


    good at this.’ Why did she have to get me involved in such an embarrassing situation?’


    Keegan suppressed his irritation and reached out to gently support Ste. “Grandma, are you okay?


    Can you stand?” he asked. Histone was filled with genuine concern.


    Ste responded with theatrical groans. “Oh, my goodness… it hurts so much…”


    The crowd around them buzzed withmentary, drawing parallels to simr incidents they’d heard of.


    Some spected on the authenticity of the pregnant woman’s condition, while others pointed out the


    suspicious nature of the entire situation.


    “Why would this olddy prick him with a needle? I can’t believe he would say that just to evade


    responsibility.”


    “I think I’ve seen this pregnant woman before.”


    “There was news about a pregnantdy who got into an ident and demanded over ten thousand


    dors forpensation. The police came, and she argued with them for a long time. In the end, she


    got a few thousand dors. Could it be that they’re the same person?”


    “Let me search up the video real quick.”


    As the situation escted, the swindling couple attempted to make a hasty exit, but they were


    intercepted by concerned bystanders.


    “Just where do you think you’re going after injuring this elderlydy?” one person demanded.


    The man no longer disyed his previous arrogance. Instead, he stood his ground and insisted on


    taking his wife to the hospital.


    “The ambnce is on its way. Just wait here,” someone said.


    Just as they were speaking, both the ambnce and the traffic police arrived at the scene.


    Ste’s feigned injuries quickly unraveled under the scrutiny of the medical professionals, and it


    became apparent that the pregnant woman was unharmed. The police revealed that this couple was


    notorious for such scams with a history of three simr incidents in just three months.


    At the same time, the authorities reprimanded Ste for her act.


    The white van that had rear-ended them turned out to be a stolen vehicle, and efforts were underway to


    identify the owner. The officers mentioned that they would contact Keegan and Ste with updates


    when they found out who was behind the wheel.


    After experiencing the tumultuous events, Ste stretched her limbs and vented her frustrations. “I


    actually thought that woman was pretending to be pregnant. Who would’ve


    thought that it was real? I can’t believe they would pull such scams with a baby on the way.”


    Keegan could not help but snort in agreement. “I cant say much about their actions. But I must admit,


    you seemed to thoroughly enjoy your performance. Did you have to act out your dreams of bing


    an aspiring actress right in front of me?”


    Ste let out an awkwardugh. She linked her arm with Keegan’s and said, “I was just worried that


    you’d be taken advantage of. They were clearly trying to extort you, and you, being soooo kind-hearted,


    might have fallen for it. What if they actually got the money?”


    “I’m not that naive,” Keegan retorted, as he wiped off the dark stains on Ste’s face. “Aren’t you afraid


    that someone would see through your facade?”


    “A good actor would know what to do in order to stay in disguise. With the right actions and voice,


    who’s going to scrutinize an olddy?” said Ste while she removed her wig. “I have to buy a new set


    of clothes for grandma since these ones are dirty.”


    Not far away, a man in a duckbill cap watched the two intently with a cigarette in his hand. Suddenly,


    his phone rang, and he answered it with his other hand.


    The voice on the other end sounded cold. “I told you to keep an eye on them and not to act recklessly!”

    The man let out a puff of smoke, and his tone was firm.” Don’t talk to me with that tone!”


    “I’m merely giving you a warning. Do you think you can escape if you make a move now?”


    The man queried, “Are you sure we have the right man? He doesn’t quite fit the description.”


    “Even if you can’t identify him, surely you would recognize the woman beside him, right?”


    The man’s expression darkened. He put out his cigarette and clenched his teeth. “I’d still be able to


    recognize her even if she was reduced to ashes!”
